    Default Natural Bahraini Pearls

    Hello,
    I am from Bahrain, which is one of the best sources of Natural Pearls; my family has been in this lovely field for more than 150 years. We have unique and one of a kind pearls, some are loose and others are put in lovely designs with diamonds and other precious stones. We also have many necklaces, some that took more than 10 years to complete. All our pearls are certified natural pearls from Bahrain’s Laboratory, which is one of the best laboratories in the world. So if anyone is interested, please feel free to email me.

    Thanks,
    Natural Pearls

    Welcome to this forum. I hope you will share lots of photos of Bahraini pearls with us. I would love to hear your descriptions of the colors and shades of Bahraini pearls too. That would be very educational.

    What part of the pearling business has your family been in?

    Any information and images you are willing to provide this forum would be welcome, if not revolutionary (if indeed we are speaking of renewed harvest!).

    The first three are beautiful, but this one is more my cup of tea. I like irregular! What a gorgeous pearl and a pretty setting. My budget is tied up in education and travel this year, but it's nice to know where to find such lovely natural pearls. For now, I love being able to see them. Thanks so much.

    Why are you still awake?
    In our region, people would rather buy a perfect round pearl lets say which is 5 cts then buy an irregular one which is maybe double the weight. I personally like both, they both have their own uniqness.

    i realize i'm in the wrong thread here, but did you ever get those muscle and scallop pearls from.. from,... argh.. you know who i mean, I'd have to look the messages up. I've never heard from him again.?.

    I have acquired a few more blue muscle pearls since last summer though. One funky little grey bluish one that is about 4x7mm: symetrical drop, circled. I have no pictures of it yet but will post some when I can.

    Just discovered this thread after it being mentioned by Steve on Tom's thread.
    Here's a citation from a natural pearl dealer found on this blog:

    Natural Salt-water Pearls: Before the 16th century the fisheries were in the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, the Mannar straits and also the Philippines. After the 16th century Mexico, Baja California and South Pacific became important pearl fisheries. Today, there are practically no fisheries. Perhaps the only known fishery today is off the coast of Kuwait but the production of natural pearls is insignificant.
